Waebi, I don’t think there’s a problem with people being vegetarians, but when you have to start taking supplements just so that you literally have the ability to survive, its pretty clear that it isn’t a natural thing.

Interested Waebi, what will you be eating for Christmas dinner, or for any big celebration?(no idea if you even celebrate Christmas)

i “celebrate” x-mas cause the ones around me do, and yes, some of them will eat meat, they know my reasoning and most of them actually approve of it.
I might actually try and cook a japanese curry for the family, been looking at it for some time and it seems tasty. Otherwise: Lasagne, Grilled Vegetables, potatoes in any way, rice (dude, it’s the most-eaten thing world-wide still, who’da thought), PIZZA etc etc.
I was unable to imagine it myself 4 years ago, it does indeed take some “getting used to” as it takes some more time to actually cook something, esp. at the beginning.

I get that, don’t agree with not eating meat, and I don’t see anyone ‘preaching’ about eating meat anywhere, but my point was just that I don’t trust anything from a site that claims to have 101 reasons to go vege, when I just showed that two of the first points I read had no relevance to eating or not eating meat

Look at it in this context: X happens, but it could be prevented/reduced if you ate less meat.

so preaching you’re a vegetarian is not pathetic then?

I respect you for being able to do is but please, leave us meatlovers the fuck alone :)

It’s less pathetic, simply because it promotes a just-as-tasty and morally correct way of living. Get out :P

Actually, I still live after 3.5 years with VERY few exceptions, and have till this day taken no supplements, my “blood values” or what you may call them are decent too. If you dont just exclusively eat noodles, you’ll be fine really. I think most of this reasoning is based on myths rather than facts. However, if it’s really “necessary”, i.e. if you cannot survive without it (fishing village in the middle of the sea, what do i know) then imo it’s acceptable.

I will not further argue with you, it IS tasty. However, since I was born, I always had this very strong sense of justice, and when I felt that something was “wrong”, I would not do or approve of it anymore. It’s the same here really.

anyway, enjoy your x-mas/holidays, no matter what you may cook or eat :) It’s just a matter of getting together and having a good time, after all :)

No need to say more.

I just came!

We are at the top of the food chain, end of! Meat is there to be eaten, it has been eaten for thousands of years. Vegetarianism has only been around for 100 years…ish

I don’t respect nor disrespect vegetarians and vegans however It all seems a lot of effort and inconvience. On the other hand, I can’t stand vegetarians that preach to the world regarding how we are all inhuman for eating meat!

and don’t even get me started on vegetarians that eat fish! wtf is that all about??

Read Lierre Keith’s The Vegetarian Myth, read it especially if you’re vegan/vegetarian for
moral reasons. It will be worth your time.

thanks for that one, will have a look at it, seemed interesting from what I gathered in the introduction.
